  • Morris Berthold Abram (June 19, 1918 – March 16, 2000) was an American lawyer, civil rights activist, and for two years president of Brandeis University. In 1953 he successfully sought the Democratic nomination for Congress from the Fifth District in Georgia, urging the desegregation of schools, but lost the election in 1954. Abram is best remembered as a civil rights attorney who successfully waged a fourteen year struggle, from 1949 to 1963, to end a Georgia electoral rule that effectively gave disproportionate weight in primary elections to whites at the expense of blacks. He briefed Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who successfully argued against the rule before the U.S. Supreme Court; it was struck down in 1963, with the court finding that "within a given constituency there can be room for but one constitutional rule – one voter, one vote."

  • Morris Berthold Abram (19 de junho de 1918 - 16 de março de 2000) foi um advogado americano, ativista dos direitos civis e por dois anos presidente da Universidade Brandeis. Em 1953, ele buscou com sucesso a nomeação democrata para o Congresso do Quinto Distrito na Geórgia, pedindo a dessegregação das escolas, mas perdeu a eleição em 1954. Abram pode ser mais lembrado como um advogado de direitos civis que travou com sucesso uma luta de quatorze anos, de 1949 a 1963, para acabar com uma regra eleitoral da Geórgia que efetivamente deu peso desproporcional nas eleições primárias aos brancos às custas dos negros. Ele informou ao procurador-geral Robert Kennedy, que argumentou com sucesso contra a regra perante a Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos; a regra foi derrubada em 1963, com a decisão do tribunal de que "dentro de um determinado eleitorado só pode haver espaço para uma regra constitucional - um eleitor, um voto".
